Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp

I am a struggling artist who just became a client of ASF (Art Storefronts), which provides marketing coaching and a website designed for artists. ASF is integrated with Mailchimp, so we are directed to create a Mailchimp account. Literally, the second I created an account, I was notified that my account was suspended for violation of terms. In my correspondence with them (there is no phone support for free accounts), they requested a government ID to be submitted via a Google form so they could investigate. In my experience, they give NO timeline and NO specific reason my account was suspended. I feel I might as well be talking to their chatbot. It has been over 3 days since I submitted proof that I am who I am, while in the meantime, the completion of my website has been delayed; hence there is no QR code to give to new contacts at the live shows I am doing these coming months. I would gladly use another email marketing provider like Mailerlite (who actually responded immediately to my inquiries and seemed customer-centered), but if I do, then the auto-sync of my contacts into outgoing emails will be disabled due to ASF's integration with Mailchimp. In my experience, Mailchimp is NOT customer-centered.
  • They have a website
  • In my experience, care about your customers
  • In my experience, answer customer questions
I never got the chance to use it since they suspended my account the minute I created it!

No

No

Would you buy Mailchimp again?

No

I never got the opportunity to speak to how well Mailchimp works since they suspended my account upon creation of it, without, in my experience, giving me a specific reason or a timeline as to when I would they would fix it. So, unfortunately, I cannot give any example of when they would be well-suited.
